The Old Mission Church

The Old Mission Church

The Old Mission Church can be seen here in a photograph from the late 1800s and artistic depiction from a German journalist. In the artist's depiction, he seems to capture the same photograph (see the men on the bottom left) but rejects to include the Native American children pictured in the actual photograph. When picturing "America" this artist did not feel the need to include the indigenous people of the land. This is very telling of the colonial mindset many individuals took during this time period.
